In continuation to my previous blog,I was eager to test the Adobe Stratus service. Unlike Adobe Flash Collaboration Service (AFCS) aka Cocomo, Stratus is simple and straight forward to use. It doesn’t require you to download any library SWCs, just a simple Developer Key, and you are on your way to develop collaborative apps. The hight light of Stratus is that it lets the flash player 10 clients connect to each other over the RTMFP protocol. Using Stratus one could be able to develop AV and text based collaborative apps, in fact what I feel is Stratus is kind of service that lets you experiment around with RTMFP and the new feature within Flash Player 10 (to connect with other Flash Player 10). AFCS gives you more control over the wire, but Stratus is simple to just get started. Well to work Stratus or AFCS, some prior knowledge of working with Flash Media Server can be handy.
Adobe Stratus Demo Chat App
I have attached the source code of FB3.3 sdk based chat application which was used by Ryan Stewart to demonstrate here, for code review and how to make it work, use the video to understand. Also note to run the application you will the need the developer key, which you can obtain here. And two different browsers, so that two different Flash Player clients can connect to each other.
